Which DC energy storage equipment is best in Boston

The act requires all electric distribution companies (EDCs) to report annually on energy storage deployment within their territories no later than February 15 each year. It was reported last year that Massachusetts had a cumulative storage capacity of 569MWh, with an additional 8,806 MWh in the development pipeline.

The projects were selected to pilot innovative, broadly replicable energy storage use cases and business models with multiple value streams, with the goal of priming Massachusetts for increased commercialization and deployment of storage technologies.

System operator ISO New England has given the go-ahead for a 300MW/1,200MWh indoor BESS located in Boston, Massachusetts under development by developer and IPP Flatiron Energy. ISO New England approved a proposed plan application associated with the project in the form of a letter published on the system operator's website on 6 January, 2025.

Thanks to a wide and varied portfolio of solutions, Panasonic has positioned itself as one of the leaders in the energy storage vicinity. Panasonic is one of the industry's top names due to its advances in innovative battery technology alongside strategic partnerships and extensive experience in manufacturing high-quality products.

With assistance from MassCEC, DOER is conducting a study on mid-to-long duration energy storage. MassCEC and DOER selected Energy and Environmental Economics, Inc. (E3) to assist with the study. This study is in fulfillment of Section 80 of Chapter 179 of the Acts of 2022 (“An Act Driving Clean Energy and Offshore Wind”).

Unlike the majority of new BESS facilities, where individual battery cells are located outside utilising a containerised approach, Flatiron is proposing to house the batteries indoors within a new two-storied building (pictured), designed by Boston-based architectural firm RODE.
